4. PROGRAMMING
The Model 214Di is fully programmable, with all parameters being stored
in memory.
The Program Mode can be entered in one of two ways:
1. By removing the lower cover strip (i.e. the dark grey strip along the
bottom of the enclosure) and turning it end for end and replacing it.
This brings a small magnet, on the inside of the cover strip, in close
vicinity of a reed switch inside the instrument.
2. By removing the front section of the enclosure which contains the
main processor board and batteries. Once removed, the PRESET key
is pressed to enter the Program Mode.
The PRESET switch is used to step through the program (CAL sequence) and
the and keys on the front panel are used to change and increment the
flashing digits. Six CAL steps are accessible in the Calibration mode. The CAL
number is displayed on the lower display and the parameter is displayed on
the upper display.
Any batch in progress when the Program mode is entered, is stopped and
cannot be resumed. Also, no incoming pulses are totalised while the unit is in
Program mode.
To exit the Program mode the lower cover strip should be returned to its
original position or the front panel should be refitted.
Parameters in Program Mode that consist of the two parts,
whole numbers
and
digits after the decimal point,
are restricted to having a maximum of 6
significant digits. Therefore the number of significant digits entered in the
whole numbers
determines the number of digits that are able to be entered
in the
digits after the decimal point
.
For Example
000001 in the whole numbers makes 0000 available after the decimal place.
000100 in the whole numbers makes 000 available after the decimal place.
010000 in the whole numbers makes 0 available after the decimal place.
